UPLOAD OPTION?
« on: 07 December 2008, 17:02 »
Im sure its cropped up before, is there a possability to upload pictures, ie host them. or is it server space dependant?

lm registered with a different website, which has un upload option as long as the file is no bigger than about 1mb,

its quite good as you can upload then view the location url, then insert into the same post, rather than having to link from somewhere else,

any chance?

There is a possibility but not one that I am interested in doing. Once I host pictures it needs an approval process to stop people adding junk which adds effort and delays. It is also open to abuse in terms of linking to the hosted pictures from elsewhere thus impacting bandwidth unless I put in hot link blocking. All in all I can't be bothered! It's not difficult to store images elsewhere! :)
